12 Guitar Songs of Christmas

A Couple Christmas Stories from Taiwan

During the Christmas of 1974, my dad recorded a Christmas cassette for our grandparents which included our thank you’s for their presents and our prayers for them.

 

During the Christmas of 1975, I remember being in a children’s Christmas program from our school. We practiced at my private Christian school, and then we performed it on a stage at a local church. We quoted a lot of memory verses, but the one I remember most is John 10:10b: “I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly.”

12 Guitar Songs of Christmas

In tribute to the “12 Days of Christmas,” I have created a list of 12 of my favorite Christmas songs that I can play on guitar. These are in no particular order:

 

1 Angels We Have Heard On High

2 Come On Ring Those Bells

3 Hark The Herald Angels Sing

4 Silent Night

5 Go, Tell It on The Mountain

6 Away In A Manger

7 We Wish You A Merry Christmas

8 Blue Christmas  

9 Joy To The World

10 It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

11 We Three Kings

12 What Child Is This

So find the chord charts to these somewhere, like on ww.ultimate-guitar.com and have a good time accompanying these songs. You can play and sing them while caroling the neighborhood, sitting around the backyard fire-pit, or enjoying the comfort of your own living room.

Sing these wonderful, long-lasting songs to celebrate the best gift of Christmas, the Child Jesus Christ.

Dragon in the Stable

One other song you might want to look at is my song “Dragon and the Stable,” which I revealed in this blog post:  http://shanehazlewood.com/2017/05/25/dragon-ferris-wheel/

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
